Watch Me Entertain Myself!

Sacha Guitry once said, "You can pretend to be serious, but you can't pretend to be witty." Oh yes, I'm the great pretender.

Eugene, Best Actress

Remember how in Kimmy Dora, the terrific tandem of Eugene Domingo and Chris Martinez (as lead actress and writer, respectively) was able to make us laugh and cry, at times almost in the same scene? Well, in the following clip from ASAP (held last Mother’s Day), we see how Eugene manages to pull off that same tricky combination of touching both our hearts and our funny bones at the same time.

Whether she had it planned or it was improvised, Eugene pulled it off with perfect timing. From her hilarious entrance to handing her award to Piolo, watch and marvel at how Eugene “gets” Papa P—in more ways than one. (Watch the whole clip, even the side comments of Eugene are funny all the way ‘til the end.)



And that is why I have stated before, and I will state it again here in The McVie Show, that Ms. Eugene Domingo should be declared a National Treasure. As in, now na.

P.S. – Natawa ako sa sinabi ni Angelica kay Eugene: “Dinaan mo sa drama para mahalikan mo!” Ahahaha!

@CARRIE: Actually, in fairness to Toni I think it was her singit-joke that further pushed Eugene na humirit pa. (Then again, Eugene may have planned everything all along. Oh well.) =)
